Our Foundational Beliefs

Jesus offered ultimate love to all people through His death on the cross. Personally, we know that we are loved and accepted. Relationally, this love can aid us in seeing when people are struggling in life and in enabling us to come alongside them with help and encouragement.

NTS founded because of these verses

“… As we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all …” Galatians 6:10 (HCSB)
“… the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)
